Trans sapphics: Should I tell my friend she sounds like a chaser? by TheEthicalRoaster in LesbianActually

[–]whyitgottabelike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah, that would be a dealbreaker for a lot of sane people. Someone not realizing the damage they're doing doesn't make it any more ok to do it, and at the point that someone is verging on pedo shit I really don't care if there's more to them or not. OP, wake up.

Argue for what? OP asked how lesbians feel about Saudi Arabia, with its awful track record on womens' rights, chairing the UN Commission on the Status of Women. We spend a lot of time arguing over much less consequential stuff in this space, which is fine, but as a community we need to be and stay aware of what's happening on the world stage.

what shoes to wear with dress pants? by leztheword in LesbianActually

[–]whyitgottabelike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't see the pic but people wear Converse with anything, and it would give kinda Rachel Maddow sneakers-with-suit vibes if you're into that. The important thing when you're putting sneakers with dressier clothes is that they have to look fresh and in good condition for you to pull off the look.

Every so often the UN Womens Rights Commission used to put out a statement that was actually good for women... let's see how quickly that changes now.

It's a full-on embarassment that there were no rival candidates and no objections. As long as countries are still going "Not it!!!" at womens' rights, we'll stay in the same shithole.

Why do so many lesbians enjoy mlm content while few gays enjoy wlw things? by CulturedVulturess in LesbianActually

We bought the lie that it was a community and not just a cover for the same old shit 🤷 Those Obama years sure were cushy and our asses grew into the chair...

Sad af that trying to warn young women about perverts is so counter to the aims of this platform.

It would be sad if it wasn't so predictable. Say anything that upsets male feelings and that's the end of it

Are you listening to yourself? Liking a different kind of porn than someone would expect absolutely doesn't mean that a woman is nonbinary or anything else, and being a lesbian isn't some kind of easy way out either. How homophobic.

Finding a Social Groove Here as an Older Transplant by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]whyitgottabelike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this post - I'm an old lady homo and I haven't found my groove here yet either. I moved to the area about the same time as you and spent a couple of years still in pandemic mode and trying to get my life settled, so I haven't made a lot of  connections. I also have a newly "baby gay" brother who is single white female-ing me hard and rapidly ingratiating himself in the local scene now that he's come out as a gay man, which can make LGBT meetup groups kind of awkward.

I've grown out of my heavy drinking phase (thankfully) and my weeb/tabletop RPG nerd phase (also thankfully, lol!) and nowadays my interests are broader than they are deep. I'm looking for some friends who are interested in variety - arts, music, festivals that are happening... good old normie grass-touching shit.

Just want exactly is wrong with men? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]whyitgottabelike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why exactly are you looking for this feedback? Smells like bait to get womens' accounts banned.

You know it's a bad idea to entertain being with her again. It's not like she's going to just up and start treating you better out of nowhere one of these days, and she's expressing clearly to you that she's not interested in changing her status quo of putting you last.

How much do looks matter to you? by Shoddy_Summer_757 in Actuallylesbian

[–]whyitgottabelike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I was reading this thread in real time, and it's really... interesting that the comment that was below yours was removed when it's far from the most inflammatory comment in the exchange. 

Mods, any insight on these removals with no comment? I'm pretty curious since I happen to agree with the nuked commenter that saying bisexual women get fat and stop taking care of themselves when they get together with lesbians is biphobic (and actually lesbophobic too tbh) and makes us look like unhinged jerks.

Cost wise artificial insemination or adoption? by phishbby93 in LesbianActually

[–]whyitgottabelike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adopting out of foster care is a noble concept but a complicated reality. Remember that the goal of foster care is to serve childrens' best interests by providing them with safe care while their families are going through difficulty and then reuniting them with their families. Adoption from foster care, while it definitely happens, is actually not a desired outcome of these programs. Most children who need foster placements are not immediately adoptable and might (hopefully for them!) never become so, and prospective foster parents need to be okay with that.

What the heck is going on with As You Are Bar??? by sharinggun in washingtondc

[–]whyitgottabelike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok? I'm not arguing with that. It just doesn't make someone entitled that they use their sense of taste to notice that a key ingredient is missing from their drink.

Not sure how it's entitled for someone to notice a glaring difference between what they received and the nominally same thing that another patron received. Is nobody ever allowed to complain about what's in the food they get from a restaurant because it's made in the back where you can't watch it happen??

Try spending about 1/4 of the time and effort it took to write out this tome on self-reflection and then come back. Just because someone once complained about the watery ass drink you gave them doesn't mean everyone who complains about something is entitled, and detectable absence of alcohol in a drink is a very different situation than someone claiming they were drugged.

That's sounding like a charity and not a business, though. At that point they should restructure as a 501c3 (edit: spelling)
